2. Important Notes
• Configuration Manager 7 has excluded support for Bosch Video Client and BVIP Lite Suite.
Installing it over an existing installation of a previous version will encrypt the database with
strong encryption and thus render it unusable for the older software.
• Configuration Manager 7.0 and higher are pure 64 bit applications and require a 64 bit
Windows operating system.
• Security And Safety Things (S&ST) has changed their name into azena.
Though they kept their former URLs, or put forwarding in place, in future it may happen that
only the new domains may be supported, which would cause breaking connectivity.
We will keep track and support the new URLs when accessible. Once the links are broken, it
requires to have Configuration Manager updated.

o 3D size measurements (width, height, depth) and filter for IVA Pro Traffic Pack objects
added.
o Stationary object label and filter added for IVA Pro Buildings Pack and IVA Pro Traffic
Pack.

• VCA tabs, e. g. Motion Detection may not be refreshed after firmware upgrade or downgrade.
Manual refresh might be necessary.
• Device network settings configuration for VJD-7000 and VJD-8000 is not functional in the
context menu of the device tree (right-click). The network configuration page shall be used
instead.
• VRM-based ANR mode is no more supported.
• Only one LUN lock can be overwritten per device at a time. Acquiring of lock is done only
when storage target is needed for recording.
• Upload of an invalid certificate will cause I/O errors displayed on page.
• With cameras running firmware 6.4x and ‘Silent VCA’ mode, a wrong VCA calibration tab may
be displayed on ‘event triggered’ or ‘scheduled’ modes. A VCA profile must be selected first.
• Once an authenticated is established, the user can still communicate with a device although
the smart token might have been removed. To avoid unauthorised access, Configuration
Manger should not be left accessible when the smart token with the client certificate is
removed.
• With CPP7.3 AUTODOME and MIC cameras, an I/O error might be displayed on the ‘Logs’
tab. The device’s web page can be used instead to access the logs and configure the syslog
functionality.
• Due to security concerns, basic authentication is no more supported. As a result, firmware
cannot be uploaded to a password-protected VJD-7000 running FW 54.8.x or older. An older
version of Configuration Manager can be used instead, or the password removed temporarily.
• With certificate-based authentication, each Windows user should only use one Smart Card or
user token for the same CA.
• If a storage array is reconfigured or cleared manually (e. g. by using console or SanTricity
instead of Bosch tools), all LUNs of all targets of the storage array must be deleted from the
VRM and then re-added again to update all necessary information.
• Custom table views do not support adding of dynamic content like e. g. user management or
certificates.
• Configuration upload and download is not supported for cameras of the Remote Portal.
• Repository download that includes offline devices or devices not supporting a configuration file
download will show an error which can be ignored. All parameters handled by Configuration
Manager will be stored in repository.
• In rare cases only a partial VRM device tree is shown. Restart the Configuration Manager for a
full display.
• Privacy masks and other orientation-related parameters must be checked and eventually re-
assigned after rotating a camera.
• Uploading or exchanging certificates requires the device to be rebooted if running firmware
below version 7.x.
• Stamping logo may sometimes lose transparency if converted by Configuration Manager. In
this case, prepare logo with correct size and color with other tools to avoid conversion.

• Using “export from memory” with pre-alarm recording exceeding the available memory will
cause continuous recording on the account storage. Checking the memory requirement of the
pre-alarm ring is advised to avoid unexpected memory consumption.
• New calibration module is not fully functional for calibrating moving cameras. It is
recommended to use Configuration Manager 7.30 for dome calibration.
• Camera Calibration module does not work on Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB.
• For single line devices the field ‘device name’ is not shown but camera name is used for both.
• TLS 1.3 is not yet supported by Configuration Manager, though it allows this setting on CPP14
cameras running FW 8.30 or higher. Once minimum TLS version is set to 1.3, Configuration
Manager will be locked out.
• Windows fonts may appear invalid or missing after changing the screen scale factor.
In such a case, please refer to the MS knowledge base at
https://support.microsoft.com/de-de/help/4038303.
• For a FLEXIDOME panoramic 5100i in on-board dewarping mode, with line 2 set to quad-
view, it is not possible to select another than the first quadrant for PTZ control. As a work-
around use the web page of the camera to configure the dewarped quad-view.
• For FLEXIDOME multi 7000i, the azimuth value for a camera module is located under
‘coordinate system’, contrary to its location in the camera’s web interface.
• Firmware upload to HD decoder requires HTTPS due to basic authentication being
deprecated on unencrypted connections.
• Devices appear locked in Remote Portal if their user and live passwords are not configured.
Note:
If multiple Configuration Managers are used in the network, maintaining the same or an
overlapping set of devices simultaneously, unpredictable effects might occur when writing to
the devices.
Note:
Due to the change to .NET 4.7.2 DiBos devices cannot be found by network scan if .NET 3.5
is not installed.
If required install .NET 3.5 in addition to the Configuration Manager installation package.
